Marauder vs. Mach 1 Timing Cover

[Black&Gifted]

Are the timing covers on the two engines the same? (i.e., the mach 1 timing cover will work with the eaton swap alternator brackets?) In the process of gathering some parts and wondered if they were.

Attempted to search but my search skills didn't yield anything other than the 03-04 cobra timing covers were different. Thanks.

Edit: powder coated pics added for visual pleasure

Yes they are the same, the only if any difference would be one bolt hole in the front timing case cover but I believe that only applies between iron and aluminum blocks.

[LANDY]

Yes it only applies between iron and aluminum. But not on the mach1 because they are aluminum.

help me out here as I may be a little slow tonight....would this prevent me from using a mach 1 timing cover on an 03 cobra shortblock? I presume not but would rather verify before wheelin n dealin.

powdercoated :up: wrinkle black, wrinkle DSG or wrinkle red. not sure what color but it will be wrinkle!

[massacre]

Well since they just said that there was a 1 bolt hole difference between the aluminum & iron blocks, and the Terminator block is an iron block, ......???????

[Black&Gifted]

ok. I assume then it is good to go except for the 1 bolt...

here's a pic of the difference between the iron vs aluminum block bolt hole locations; Al block is the lower left hole, iron is the upper right hole.

You can use it direct fit if both blocks are aluminum, if one is iron then 99SVT picture is dead on, you just have to fill in one hole in the timing cover.

And here is the hole on the Timing cover....

Thank you both for your pictures, helps a lot of people!

[Black&Gifted]

thank you guys very much!

Part numbers are same for the MM and Mach 1 timing covers. Cobra is different, however.

[Blackened300a]

There is another difference between the 03-04 Cobra cover and the Mach1.

Here's a Mach1 cover.

Where the belt tensioner bolts up on the cover is also different.

[Black&Gifted]

just picked up the timing cover and valve covers. pics forthcoming.

[Black&Gifted]

Pics of the valve covers

Edit: I need better pictures in better lighting. The pics look nothing like it

[Black&Gifted]

Hopefully better pics added to first post

The engine I just pulled is an iron Cobra block with an MM timing cover. The block does not have that one hole in it, but, you just use "The Right Stuff" gasket sealer and zero leaks. :beer:
